[Hundred Years Gourmet] 77 Dolls Gopchang… A place that competes with only one gibble hot pot menu

│ Gopchang hot pot with a sharp soup that reminds me of a cup of sake

Fifty-nine restaurants from around the country were selected for the “Hundred Years Restaurant”, which connects generations. These are places that have been silently meeting customers in one place for over 30 years. A place that impresses with “uniformity” while protecting faith and determination. These efforts have stolen the government's taste. The 59 restaurants selected directly by the Ministry of Small and Medium Venture Enterprises and the Small Commercial Market Promotion Corporation are currently known through the foodtech O2O (online and offline connection) platform “Shikishin.” Under the title “Hundred Years Gourmet,” AJU Keizai introduces the Hundred Years Restaurant, one by one, each weekend, a place filled with memories.

“Giblets” are attractive for their chewy texture and savory flavor that fills your mouth every time you chew them. Giblets are rich in iron and vitamins, and are known not only to be tasty, but also good for the body, such as skin care and stomach wall protection. Giblets can be enjoyed in a variety of ways, such as grilled, stir-fried, and steamed. Among them, “offal hot pot,” which is eaten by putting offal in a cool soup stock and simmering it, is a dish loved by lovers.

“77 Dolgopchang” is located halfway between Sasang Station and Gamjeon Station. Kim Byung-soo and Woo Jeong-ja have been together for 35 years since 1985. This is a place that has been loved for a long time for its single menu, “offal hot pot.” The offal that goes into the hot pot uses only domestic Korean beef and is prepared by hand every day, and has a refreshing taste without any residue. The visuals of putting offal hot pot on a hot grill and putting lots of spinach on it are impressive. As the broth boils, the mild sweetness and flavor of spinach melts into the soup, making the sweet, spicy, and sharp flavor excellent. You should also try “fried rice,” which is a savory stir-fry made by adding rice and seaweed powder to the seasoning left over after eating the ingredients. It's also a delicacy to eat a crappy rice cracker stuck to a stone board. The store is only open on weekdays, so be sure to check it out when you visit.

[Hundred Years PICK] “Gopchang Hot Pot” = The theme of hot pot cooked with various ingredients in a cool sauce looks similar, but the flavors of the ingredients are mixed into the sauce and soup to create different flavors. Gopchang sukgol, which is boiled with beef offal, is delicious because of the rich, heavy soup that comes from the giblets. After eating some of the ingredients, you can enjoy it even more by adding noodles such as ramen or udon according to your preferences.
